Craft Coffee: A Manual: Brewing a Better Cup at Home

An easy read - not too technical.

Excellent. In my view best overview of many methods to brew coffee. Recommended.

Very informative, focused book. Recipes work well. Doesn’t cover automatic brewing methods or espresso which is fine for me since I prefer manual, pourover or immersion brewed coffee.

Great read. love this book

Product advertised as being 'new', but the book I received shows clear signs of wear (stains) on the front and back covers

The inside of the book is upside down relative to the cover

I've read a lot of cooffee books already, and thyis one - one of the best. It is not only very well descriptive but also super practical. The recipes provided there are super close to the reality with good deviations, for example for 1 recipe - multiple variations, like french press method and also cold brew, the same - for the clever dripper and so on. Also, I found good short practical advises at the very end of the book with how to fix certain problems in your cup, which you can can use right away. There is also a good balance in coffee regions explanations and processing methods - not too much, just to put some beautiful context for the beans we're buying, buuuut this also explaining how it affects our taste. Like, washed coffee = more origin nuances, moire clear cup. Natural = more body, and so on... This helped me take right decisions on my brewing methods. If talking about another books, they making huge emphasis on the coffee origins parts, but more in encyclopedia manner unfortunatelly... But here, after reading, you clearly understand what does it mean and how it would help you to understand what will end up in your cup.

Consiglio questo libro a tutti coloro che vogliono imparare qualcosa in più sul caffè e come farlo con i metodi alternativi all'espresso o alla moka. È scritto molto bene con uno stile semplice e anche simpatico. Mi è piaciuto perché non solo copre tutti gli argomenti basici legati al caffè ma va oltre e fornisce anche consigli e curiosità. È indicato per chi vuole avvicinarsi a questo mondo ma anche per chi ha già conoscenze in quanto qualcosa in più di sicuro la trova.

Compré este libro buscando un primer acercamiento al café de especialidad, donde pudiera hallar la teoría que le subyace a la preparación del café, junto con una guía para llevar a cabo los métodos caseros más conocidos; y es exactamente lo que este libro ofrece. Desde una redacción muy amigable para quienes vamos comenzando, la autora aborda temas como la teoría de la extracción, las variables que tienen efecto sobre la preparación del café e incluso algunas recetas muy precisas para llevar a cabo algunos de los métodos más conocidos; todo esto sin caer en la sobre-simplificación del tema.

Für den Einstieg ins Kaffeezubereiten ein tolles Buch. Auch mit interessanten Hintergrundinfos
